Folks,
We both are Indian Citizen and we have baby borned in Canada a month back. In canada it takes more than 3 months to get Birth certificate due to long processing times. But fortunately they issue a temporary travel document which mentions the parents names and birth details. With this travel document, Canadian Passport can be obtained for 1 year validity.

Our VISAs are expiring and hence we are returning to India permanently. I thought of getting PIO card for my baby. One of the requirement for getting PIO card is to present Birth Certifacate of Minor.
Does someone has similar experience or knows if CGI accepts Travel document issued by City Hall instead of Birth certificate?

I have been trying to call them on their four phone numbers in Toronto from last two weeks but either numbers are busy or ringing only.

I will appreciate your quick response. Thank you in advance,
regards,
Narendra
